Directions: Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl and mix wet ingredients in a medium sized bowl. Add wet to dry and stir until just incorporated.

I used coconut oil to grease the waffle pan and it worked quite well. :)

It was soooooo yummy!

Snack: 11am

For a mid-morning snack I had a green monster because no day is complete without one!

It was just a simple one as I was short on time (kale, hemp milk, ice, liquid garlic, wheatgrass, and a tiny brown banana). GreenPerfecto.

Lunch was another late one (seems to be a theme this week!!!) since I was bogged down in my work and I had a run outside around 1pm. The good news is yesterday I got caught up on almost all of my paperwork! I probably have about 3 hours left to finish this weekend.

Lunch: 2:45pm

This is something I whipped up that I like to call …

Baked Burrito Pizzas

Ingredients:

1 pita

‘Pizza’ Sauce (2 T soy yogurt and 1/2 cup tomato puree)

1/2 cup black beans, cooked

1/2 zucchini, shredded or sliced (I did both)

Parsley

Directions: Line a baking sheet with parchment or tin foil to catch drippings. Carefully divide pita in half. Mix sauce together and cover the pitas with sauce. Sprinkle with beans and zucchini. Bake for about 5 mins at 350. For the final few minutes broil on low-med, but watch it very carefully as the pita burns easily. Remove with a spatula from baking sheet and place onto a large plate. Fold into a burrito and enjoy!

This was really fun and quite tasty!

Dessert was another Power me up apple crisp. I used spelt flakes instead of Glo-nola since I am out of it (note to self- make more asap!!!). I microwaved the cereal and to my surprise it got really chewy and had a nice texture.

Late afternoon snack was a small cup of cereal with almond milk:

And I had some crackers and salsa that were not photographed.

Dinner: 7:30pm

Friday’s dinner was another first for me– I made pesto!

I mixed 3.5 T pesto + 1 T EVOO + 1/3 cup water.

Then I cooked some whole wheat pasta. Such a simple yet delicious dish with so much flavour! I had about 2 cups of the pesto pasta and 3/4 of a zucchini.

I also had some pan-seared Zucchini (just divine on its own!)

Sometimes the most simple meals are the best!

Dessert was one of my new obsessions!

I found these last week in Loblaws/Superstore in the organic freezer section. I was really craving candy, but since it has been so long since I have bought candy, I wanted to keep my good streak. When I found these coconut bars I knew I had to have them!!

It is made mostly from organic coconut, water, and evaporated cane juice. As you can see in the picture below, there is actual shredded coconut in the bar! OH MY, I almost freaked out when I tasted it. So delicious and really chewy from the coconut.

Hey! Question!
I am trying to make the waffles. I was just wondering if the waffle you posted in the picture is the entire end result or just a portion? I’m not sure if i should use 1/2 c of whole wheat flour instead of 1.5 cup of whole wheat flour since I am making this recipe for only one person.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE your little zucchini pizza idea. I’m totally going to have to go there. I just need to figure out what would be a good pita substitute. Maybe I’ll get creative and make my own pita. Hmmm….

Another yummy looking waffle. I’ve noticed that the past few days on the food journal sections that you eat a lot of carbs (bread products to be more exact). Have you found over time that you feel better with more carbs vs. protein based foods in your diet? Just curious…I see so many types of eating styles on these blogs!

Angela – do you find that your knee sleeves really help reduce knee pain? I’ve been sidelined for 5 months now with knee pain and have tried everything!! My PT said knee sleeves wouldn’t work for my condition, but I’m tempted to try them out.

Hi Tay, my knee sleeves totally took away my knee pain. They have been nothing short of incredible for me, but it really depends on the type of support you need. I had all over knee pain and it has been a miracle!

I love putting coconut oil on my food! I use it as a butter for sweetbreads.. use it in my oats.. put it in lentils.. just about anything really. Those waffles sound incredible – I have been wanting to make waffles for the past week but I’m hoping to stumble upon a wafflemaker.

Just catching up on blog reading and your last post bout listening to your body….for people who are in a true fitness groove, and not just those who are trying to skip their workout or come up with just about any excuse to skip a workout…anyway for people who generally workout and want to skip, I definitely say yes, listen to your body. If not you end up injured, overtired, and just dragging. However for me, listening to my own advice is hard…I always think I can muscle thru it and sometimes I really do just need to back off.

I’m definitely going to try this recipe as a pancake. I don’t have a wafflemaker, but it looked so good, that I just have to try it!
Sketchie makes me miss my parents kitties so much! Too cute, thanks for sharing the pics!

Ange — just a wanted to say “good job” with the food photography. If I were on day 4 of taking photos of my food, I’d just snap whatever came along and call it a day. . . but your stuff looks super.

A delayed comment on the running (when to push/pull back). I usually push myself. . . but every now and then I find that “throwing in the towel” results in more energy. I am on vacation w/out anything except my sneakers and the great outdoors, so I’ve been coming up with my own routines. . . amazingly, I was sore from my own made-up workouts of the last two days. So, I decided I’ll do a brisk walk and crunches and call it a day instead of the run I had planned. I *do* find that if I follow a running program, I generally keep fatigue/injury at bay. . .
